Individuals who are currently on probation or parole will not be allowed to visit inmates.

All individuals are subject to checks for outstanding arrest warrants prior to visiting any inmate.

Any individual can be denied a visit with an inmate if the visit would not be in the best interest of justice, case prosecution, operation of the jail, or could cause security concerns.

All visitors must be dressed in proper attire. Individuals who violate any of the Buchanan County Sheriff's Office policies will be removed from the facility and may be prohibited from any further visitation privileges.

Visitation is a privilege and may be revoked at any time an inmate is not in compliance with any rules of the facility or directives by Buchanan County Sheriff's Office personnel.

Any individual discovered delivering contraband into the facility will be prosecuted.
